[TowerTalk] Help ID Quad

[Jon Pearl - W4ABC]

Hi Mike,

I'm not sure I follow your description but you mention spreaders in a 
triangle.  Are you meaning, rather than a tubular spreader arm, you've 
got some that are made of three individual Fiberglas pieces that are 
webbed together to form a single spreader.

The first thing that came to mind is the architecture of the spreaders 
used in the Manitoba Gem Quad.  Here's a pretty good look at some 
product literature:
